• 10/9: Checkpoint 4
  A checkpoint 4 has been posted for more cool points! It tests a network with multiple servers and routing daemons, your routing tables, and the state stored at each routing daemon.
  
• 10/5: Checkpoint 3/
  A checkpoint 3 has been posted for cool points! It tests stand alone router functionality, meaning that none of the tests require multiple routers and reading of LSAs yet. Passing these tests will ensure that your router can handle basic commands from your server, and keep track of its own local users and channels. This functionality is needed to properly build LSAs. We will soon put out a modified version to test multiple routers, routing of messages to users, and routing of messages to channels. Good luck!
